Friday is the second gym day in our program. Like Tuesday, we will be hitting full-body workouts, but Fridays will emphasize upper body strength. Remember that our goal is to move the body and get a little bit of stress through weight training. The most important part of these workouts is that you get them done!
The restoration work today focuses on the shoulders and thoracic spine. Carrying that pack all day long is going to demand some good upper body strength and stamina, and we want to make sure all the nuts and bolts are in place.
